Luxury Paris Wedding Photographer

Kiss Me in Paris photographs weddings in Paris and around the world, from palace hotels and châteaux to private venues. Our collections start at eight hours. Our English-speaking photographers are trained by our co-founder, Cengiz.

We photograph the finishing touches by the window and your partner seeing you for the first time. We also keep an eye on the friend who promised not to cry and has already lost the argument. The portraits, the people and the party all deserve the same care.

Book photography on its own, with your own planner, or as part of a wedding we plan.

Wedding photography is quoted individually for your location, travel, hours of coverage, photographers and assistants. We prepare collection options around your celebration, in Paris or elsewhere in the world.

Your proposal names the photographer, hours, number of photographers and editing included. It also explains the digital-file options, albums and any travel costs. Engagement sessions, rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches can be included where you want them. The total includes applicable VAT.

We recommend at least two photographers for every wedding, including intimate celebrations. While you get ready separately, both preparations deserve attention. Two photographers can follow both sides of a first look, the ceremony entrance and your partner’s reaction, then the speakers, the couple and the guests during speeches. For larger weddings, we may recommend a wider team so more of your guests and the celebration are photographed.

Discretion and an NDA

We agree with you whether your wedding photographs may be published and respect your decision to keep them private. An NDA is available with any collection if you would like the confidentiality arrangements set out in writing.

On the day, we work discreetly with your team of vendors. We give direction when it helps and leave space for the celebration to happen around us.

Start with the photograph you love. Then ask to see the whole wedding. A beautiful portrait tells you something about a photographer’s eye. A complete gallery shows how that eye holds up through preparations, the ceremony, family groups and a busy dance floor.

Ask us for a complete wedding from a photographer available on your date. We share galleries that we have permission to show and help you find examples relevant to your venue and celebration.

Meet Adam, Scander, Juliana, Vincent and Cengiz. Explore their portfolios, then ask us for a complete wedding photographed by your preferred artist.

As wedding planners, we help you choose the photographer who fits your celebration. You can book our wedding planning service with your own photographer, or book our photographers with your own planner.

Try an engagement session before booking the wedding

A paid engagement session in Paris lets you work with your intended wedding photographer before making the larger commitment. You experience their direction, see how comfortable you feel and review the finished photographs.

You leave the experience with portraits and a much clearer sense of the fit. Those photographs can also find their way onto your save-the-dates, guest book and wedding website.

Meet our photographers and view their portfolios. Tell us your date and venue so we can share complete weddings from available artists.

Our approach brings together candid coverage, editorial portraits, family photographs, and the details of your setting. We move between them as the day unfolds. A complimentary photography timeline review helps us plan with your planner, venue and other vendors.

Preparations and the first look

We plan the preparations with you in advance. With two photographers, each of you can have coverage while getting ready, even in separate locations. We agree positions before a first look and let the reveal happen without coaching.

A first look gives you time together before the ceremony and can leave more of the cocktail hour free. If you prefer to see each other at the ceremony, we plan portraits afterward. The schedule should follow how you want to experience the day.

Couple and wedding party portraits

You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose. We guide you with light, position and small adjustments, leaving room for your own expressions. Portrait time can be a welcome few minutes together at a party where everyone wants a word.

Your wedding party can join for relaxed groups or more editorial portraits. We plan the sequence around the ceremony, any beauty touch-ups and the time you want with your guests.

Yes, your wedding portraits can include the Eiffel Tower. We allow for travel and light when planning the route. For a portrait session on its own, explore our couple and engagement photography.

Family photographs with a plan

No photographer can guess your family dynamics. Before the wedding, we agree on the groups you want and any combinations that need particular care. You appoint someone who knows everyone and can call the groups together. We can then concentrate on the photograph.

We usually start with the largest groups, so guests who appear in only one photograph can return to their drinks. As the groups get smaller, we can use a longer lens for a flattering perspective when the space allows. We take at least two frames of each group, because a blink should not decide the family portrait.

We find flattering light, leave space behind the group and check bouquets, hands, hair and spacing. Phones come out of sight. The aim is a well-arranged photograph and a family that gets back to the celebration.

The ceremony and your guests

Your vows matter, and so do the faces watching you say them. We photograph the setting, the exchange between you and the reactions of family and friends. When your collection includes a second photographer, they can add another perspective while the principal photographer stays with the main action.

The reception room and the evening

We coordinate time to photograph the reception room before guests enter. When the room and schedule allow, we bring you in for portraits among the tables and a quiet look at everything you have planned. You can also rehearse your first dance where it will happen.

That rehearsal helps you and gives our team a chance to plan positions. With multiple photographers, we divide the views between the couple, the room and the guests’ reactions. Each photographer should add something different.

Then the room changes. We follow the entrances, speeches, first and parent dances, performances, cake and the party. If you are planning a Hora, a champagne moment or a send-off, we make room for it in the coverage.

How many hours of wedding photography to book

Our wedding collections start at eight hours. Many celebrations need eight to fifteen hours, and twelve is often a useful starting point for a day that runs from preparations into the party. We review your actual schedule before recommending the coverage. If you’re deciding which gatherings to host around the wedding day, see the wedding-week section of our Paris wedding guide.

If the budget is tight, we work backward from the evening you want photographed. Shortening the getting-ready coverage can protect the late hours, when everyone has relaxed and the dance floor has developed a personality of its own. A little well-timed coverage of the final preparations can still tell that part of the story.

Three levels of editing

We edit photographs individually. Your collection specifies the level included, and we can quote additional work for selected images.

Standard editing addresses exposure, crop, color, contrast, clarity and noise. These adjustments give the photographs a consistent finish while respecting the light and atmosphere of the day.

Premium editing allows more detailed retouching, such as removing a distracting object, refining skin or making flattering adjustments to a portrait.

Artistic editing involves more substantial changes. You might love your expressions in one champagne photograph and the fireworks in another. Where the source images allow, we can combine those elements. We can also discuss changing a sky or extending a composition for a particular print. This work takes more time and is quoted to match the request.

Albums worth holding

Our handmade wedding albums are bound in New Zealand, England or Paris. We choose the paper, printing, binding and cover materials with the same care as the photographs. A book should feel good in your hands before you have turned the first page.

We help you choose the format and finish, then design the pages around your wedding. Albums are included in selected collections or available as an addition. Smaller books for parents, family and friends can be added too.

Photography and film are planned together, with separate professionals responsible for each. We agree on positions and share the portrait time so everyone can do their work without competing for the same doorway.

A wedding film adds the voices, music and movement that photographs leave to memory.

At a château, estate or vineyard, aerial photographs can show the scale of the setting and the landscape around you. Drone photography is a separate specialist service. We help direct the composition and position the couple, while the qualified operator remains responsible for the flight.

Drone filming in Paris requires special authorization. Elsewhere, airspace restrictions, permissions, the venue and weather still matter. We check feasibility before including drone coverage in your proposal.
